His popularity can be attributed to his fight style, which involves Chan constantly moving forward and always looking to finish the fight.

After submitting Poirier, Jung decided to undergo shoulder surgery in July to correct an issue that had been plaguing him for quite some time. I had the chance to talk with ‘KZ’ about his injury, his upcoming bout with Ricardo Lamas at UFC 162 and much more: Chris: Hey Chan thanks again for taking the time to talk with us here at bjpenn.com, first off how is your shoulder doing? I know you had surgery on it back in July of 2012, is it back to feeling 100% now?
